Talk:Documentation/Calc Functions/ERF.PRECISE

SF comments

(1) General. Two different names are used on the page, i.e. Gaussian error integral and Gaussian error function. And then we link to a page that calls it “the error function (also called the Gauss error function)“. Can we decide what we want to call it, and use that name consistently?

(2) Returns. Can the error function give values of exactly +1 or -1 (theoretically)?

(3) Arguments. Clarification needed. Presumably the LowerLimit can be any real number? What happens if you pass something that is not a real number?

All points addressed. About -1 and +1 Calc will give that for very large numbers.
